Important warning for persons with a cardiac pacemaker, a hearing aid or

a metallic implant

䡲 Induction hobs produce a high frequency magnetic field around the cook-

ing zones. Standing near the cooking zones can under unfavourable cir-

cumstances have an adverse effect on or affect the working of the pace-

maker, hearing aid or metallic implant.

䡲 Tests have shown that under normal circumstances there is no risk to car-

diac pacemaker users. If, as the user of a cardiac pacemaker (or a hearing

aid or another type of implant), you would like to be reassured that using

the appliance does not pose a risk, you are advised to consult a competent

medical authority.

Caution: Burns/Fire hazard!

䡲 Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.

䡲 Ensure objects made of metal or with metallic parts, e. g. cutlery, alumini-

um foil, wrapping paper, do not come into contact with the surface of the

appliance.

䡲 The surface will remain hot for some time after it is switched off and will

cool down only slowly to room temperature. Please allow sufficient time for

the appliance to cool down before, for instance, cleaning it.

䡲 If smoke or fire comes out of the appliance when in use, switch off the fuse

in the house wiring system.

䡲 Do not leave the appliance unattended when deep frying. Overheated fat

and oil can easily catch fire! Never try to extinguish burning oil or fat with

water. Danger of explosion! Smother the flames with a damp cloth and

keep all doors and windows closed.

䡲 A sudden impact such as a salt pot falling on to the hob can damage the

surface. Such objects should not be stored above the appliance.

䡲 Do not operate the appliance for any length of time without or with empty

cookware.

䡲 Check that the base of the cookware and the surface of the cooking zone

are clean and dry before use.

䡲 Always lift – i. e. do not slide – the cookware off the hob so as not to

scratch the surface or damage the markings.

䡲 Do not place hot cookware on the frame.

䡲 Do not prepare (peel, cut etc.) fruit and vegetables on the surface. Fine dirt

particles and hard objects can damage the surface of the appliance.

䡲 Do not use the appliance as a storage area. In particular, do not deposit

any inflammable materials, cardboard or plastic packaging on the surface.

䡲 Tin, zinc and aluminium objects (including aluminium foil and empty es-

presso capsules) can melt on the hot cooking zone, causing damage.

䡲 Take particular care that sugary foods or juices do not get on to the hot

cooking zone as they can damage the surface. If sugary foods or juices do

get on to the hot cooking zone, clean away immediately (while still hot) with

a scraper.

䡲 Avoid food boiling over.

䡲 When cleaning the appliance make sure no water gets inside it. Use a mod-

erately damp cloth. Do not spray the appliance with water. Do not use a

steam cleaner. If water gets inside the appliance, it can cause damage!

The surface is resistant to heat (up to 650 °C) and fluctuations in tem-

perature. It is also shock and scratch resistant to a certain degree.

Nevertheless, please observe the following precautions in order to

avoid damaging the appliance.

How induction hobs function

Induction hobs have a quick reaction time, allow precision cooking, are pow-

erful, economical and safe.

They work in a very different way to conventional hobs or solid plates. The

induction coils under the glass ceramic plate produce a rapidly changing

magnetic field which directly heats up the magnetic base of the cookware.

The glass ceramic plate remains relatively cool as it only receives heat from

the hot cookware.

Removing the cookware from the cooking zone immediately interrupts the

supply of energy.

Residual heat indicator

After the cooking zone is switched off, remains illuminated in the display

as long as a burn hazard exits.

Induction hobs require cookware with a magnetic base.

Original wok pan

The original wok pan was especially designed for this appliance. It is made

of a special material with particular inductive heat transfer properties. As a

result, the original wok pan and the food being prepared in it cannot overheat,

providing additional safety both in terms of operating the appliance and fire

prevention.

A Before use, ensure the outside of the original wok pan is clean and dry.

A Place the original wok pan carefully in the wok bowl.

A Always lift the original wok pan out of the wok bowl – do not slide it out

over the edge of the wok bowl.

The original wok pan is unable to stand securely on flat surfaces because of

its curved base.

A For this reason, the original wok pan must always be used with its wok

stand when serving.

Only use the original wok pan supplied. Other pans can cause mal-

function of or damage to the appliance.
